Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has reacted to the decision of the leadership of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) to bar movie producers and directors from working with her, Igbere TV reports.

The association took the decision due to Iyabo’s refusal to stop social media fights with some of her colleagues over Baba Ijesha’s alleged rape saga.

The 43-year-old said on her Instagram page on Monday that she cannot be silenced.

“I can never be silenced, know that & know God. Period,” the actress captioned the picture that had a written text.

Fellow actress Nkechi Blessing, who was also suspended by TAMPAN, took to the comment section of Iyabo’s post to air her opinion.

“Nobody can even collect my voice,” the actress wrote.

Both actresses have over time taken to social media to openly condemn the conduct of Baba Ijesha who is accused of defiling the foster teenage daughter of comedienne Princess. They have clashed with some members of the association who kicked against them openly condemning Baba Ijesha.

Exactly iyabo.you have won my respect in the hypocritical and deceptive association you're in

When baba olofin was implying all actresses are oloshos you didn't suspend him

You didn't suspend ijesha because you claimed he's not a member of tampan but now you're suspending iyabo because of ijesha. the Same ijesha that you claim is not a member

Moreover God has blessed you with a daughter who just graduated.he didn't give you a chidinma kind of child,thank God for your life

If it is not that you're twisted as a man why are you uncomfortable about people speaking against pedophilia to the extent of suspending them.something is definitely wrong with you dirty old men

Even the old men fuckin and passing girls to themselves to get roles are the one acting God and claiming that they can work against another human being.tufiaaa

Strong Yoruba woman!!
Keep up the good work,.. continue speaking for the voiceless,.
The truth is like light it can never be hidden!!
It's only a matter of time, baba ijesha will definitely pay for his sins..

Okay

Hoelosho

I admire the courage of both ladies and hope that justice is served on the accused.

I am also glad they are calling out the immoral and atrocious habit in the movie industry; where established actors demand aspiring thespians offer their bodies or dignity in exchange for movie roles. I hope they are courageous enough to mention names.

Their decision to confront the perversion may cost them their existence or rank in the industry, but not their laudable standing in posterity or goodwill.

That said, I also understand the disposition of the association.

I don't think the association leadership is demanding that she/they be quiet.

Rather, the association has condemned the behaviour of the accused.

I think what the association want is that both actress cease the advertisement of the obvious equivalence they embolden to the public between the accused and many in the industry.

The leadership has the responsibility to demand that both actors stop asserting that the behaviour of the accused is popular among members of the industry on the basis of their members choice to be quiet or on the basis that their silence may infer, the fellow is only accused, not convicted and that the video evidence has not done for them, enough convincing.

That position of the leadership is what any reasonable leadership will do; not look away, not acknowledge, not incline any position that is detrimental to the association or its members, not even promising a scrutiny.

The association would look inwards however, if specific names are mentioned and this will be better, than the very noisy vandalism of the association's non existent reputation.

Ok,but I hope u too never worry producer with punny,so u go get roles abi?

Make she go siddon for kportorkportor abeg

She can't be silenced but her volume don dey low.

Clowns

Speak up!
You're right Iyabo Ojo

What a useless organisation filled with old fools.

I don't really care much for this lady, but her suspension signifies a tacit support of what that "comic" actor did. No actions against is "die-hard" friend or the Baba ijesha himself. Someone that committed such a grievous action


Later they will say all elders have wisdom.
Rotten, senile old men.

All this lady is doing is for clout chasing and to remain relevant.
